Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) are potential new therapeutics for brain diseases. However, MAb’s do not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The present work describes the genetic engineering of a fusion protein comprised of a therapeutic single chain Fv (ScFv) antibody and a mouse/rat chimeric MAb against the mouse transferrin receptor (TfR). The TfRMAb acts as a molecular Trojan horse to ferry the therapeutic ScFv across the BBB in vivo in the mouse. The ScFv is fused to the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain of the chimeric TfRMAb, and this fusion protein is designated cTfRMAb-ScFv. Chinese hamster ovary cells were permanently transfected, and a high secreting cell line in serum free medium was cloned. The cTfRMAb-ScFv fusion protein was purified to homogeneity on gels and Western blotting with protein G affinity chromatography. The cTfRMAb-ScFv fusion protein was bi-functional and bound both the target antigen, as determined by ELISA, and the mouse TfR, and as determined with a radio-receptor assay. The cTfRMAb-ScFv fusion protein was radio-iodinated with the Bolton-Hunter reagent, and a pharmacokinetics study in mice showed the fusion protein was rapidly cleared from blood with a median residence time of 175 ± 32 min. The fusion protein was avidly taken up by brain with a % injected dose (ID)/g of 3.5 ± 0.7, as compared to an MAb with no receptor specificity, which was 0.06 ± 0.01 %ID/g. These studies demonstrate that therapeutic MAb’s may be re-engineered as fusion proteins with BBB molecular Trojan horses for targeted delivery across the BBB in vivo.
